Hi Everyone!
I would really love to know what everyone thinks here... I brought in a stray cat on Jan 11. I had been feeding her for a few days outside and then it was very cold and storming so I brought her in. I realized pretty quickly that I believed she was pregnant. Her nipples were pink and her belly was rounded. She was very thin otherwise. She has been growing and we have believed her to be pregnant this whole time and now we are not sure because she is acting like she is in heat!
For the last 3 or 4 days she is showing all signs of being in heat in addition to clear discharge(No smell) and licking her vulva quite a bit and kind of growling while she is doing it. She is being extremely affectionate to our dog, rubbing on him and doing the butt in the air thing with him. I was sure she was in pre-labor the first day now that it has been days she is throwing us off!
Additional details that may help you decide what you think is going on...
She seems to be very young. When I found her I thought she was 6 months old.
Her nipples are pink but not enlarged.
I treated her for tapeworm about a month ago.
I have felt What seems to be kittens, skull and little elbows or other hard bits.
I have not felt any movement That I can distinguish
I have kept her inside for the last 2 weeks to make sure she didn’t have them outside.
I called the vet to schedule a check up and they said not to stress her out so close to birth as long as she seems healthy and happy.
I guess I am just worried that it may be reaching too long of a pregnancy or that they may be dead - let me know please what you think!!
pics are from finding her up to tonight - my dog definitely has anew best friend!
